A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed of fort miles an hour--much faster than any of its rivals. It sped d ownhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lo t of troub le try ing to s top it. The race gave every one a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting. Lesson57 Ca n I help yo u, ma da m? 你要买什么,夫人? A woman in blue jeans stood at the win dow of an expensive shop. Th ough she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and ask ed to see a dress that was in the window. T he assistan t who served her did not lik e the way she was dressed. Glancing at her scornfully , he told her that the dress was so ld. The woman walk ed out of the sho p angrily and decided to pu nish the assistant next day. She returned to the sh op the followin g morning dressed in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other. After seek ing out the rude assistan t she ask ed for the same dress. Not realizing w ho she was, the assistant was eager to serve her this time with great d ifficulty , he climbed into the shop w indow to get the dress. As so on as she saw it, the woman said s many ties.' 'And a woman can't have too man hats,' she answered. Ten minutes later we walk ed out of the sho p together. My wife was wearing a hat that loo ed lik e a ligh thou se ! Lesso n42 Not very musical 并非很懂音乐 As we had had a long walk through one of the mark ets of Old Delhi, we stopped at a sq uare to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snak e-charmer with two large bask ets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a loo at h im. As soon as he saw us, he pic ed up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened o ne of the bask ets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first g limpse of the sna e. It ro se out of the bask et and began to fo llow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the sna e charmer suddenly began to play jazz tu nes and modern pop son gs. The sna e, h owever, continued to 'dance' slowly. It obviously could n ot tell the difference between Indian music and jazz! Lesso n43 Over the So uth Pole 飞越南极 In 1929, three y ears after his flight over the North Po le, the American explorer, R. E. By rd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time. Though, at first, By rd and his men were able to ta e a great many photographs of the moun tains tha t lay below, they soon ran in to seriou s troub le. At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. By rd at once ordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks. The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet. By rd now knew that he wou ld be able to reach the Sou th Pole which was 300 miles away , for there were no more mountains in sigh t. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless w hite p lains w ithou t difficulty. Lesso n44 Throug h t he forest 穿过森林 Mrs Anne Sterling did no t th in of the risk she was ta ing when she ran throu gh a forest after two men. They had rushed up to her while she was having a p icnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tr ied to steal her handbag. In the strugg le, the strap bro e and, with the bag in their possession , both men started running throu gh the trees. Mrs Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was soon o ut of breath, but she contin ued to run. When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going thro ugh the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them. The men got such a frig ht that they dropped the bag and ran away. 'The strap needs mending,' said Mrs Sterling later, 'but they did n ot steal any thing.' Lesso n45 A clear co nscience 问心无愧 The whole village so on learnt that a large sum of money had been lost. Sam Benton, the local butcher, had lo st h is wallet while taking his savings to the post-office. Sam was sure that the wallet must have been foun d by one of the v illagers, bu t it was not returned to him. Three months passed, and then one morning, Sam found his wallet outside his front door. It had been wrapped up in newspaper and it contained half the money he had lost, together with a note wh ich said: 'A thief, y es, 'but only 5o per cent a thief!' Two months later, some more money was sent to Sam with another note:' Only 25 per cent a thief now!' In time, all Sam's money was paid back in th is way. The last note said:' I am 100 per cent honest now!' lesso n46 Expe nsive and unco mfortable 既昂贵又受罪 Wh en a plane from London arrived at Sy dney airport, work ers began to un load a number of wooden boxes wh ich contained clo thing. No one could account for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heav y. It suddenly occurred to one of the work ers to open up the box. He was astonished at what he foun d. A man was ly ing in the box on top of a pile of woo llen goo ds. He was so surprised at bein g disco vered that he did n ot even try to run away. After he was arrested, the man ad mitted hiding in the box before the plane left London. He had had a long and uncomfortable trip, for he had been confined to the wooden box for over ten hours. The man was ordered to pay &345 for the cost of the trip. The normal price of a tic et is &230 ! Lesson47 A thirsty ghost 嗜酒的鬼魂 A public house which was recently bought by Mr Ian Thompson is up for sale. Mr T hompson is goin g to sell it because it is haunted. He to ld me that he could n ot go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been block ed by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he h ad found five empty whisk bottles which the ghost must have drun the nigh t before. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink , Mr Thompson shoo his head. The v illagers have to ld him that they will no t accept the inn even if he gives it away. Lesso n48 D id yo u want to tell me so met hing? 你想对我说什么吗? Dentists alway s ask q uestion s when it is impossib le for y ou to answer. My dentist had just pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while. I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton-woo l. He new I collected b irds' eggs and ask ed me whether my collection was growing. He then ask ed me how my brother was and whether I lik ed my new job in Lond on. In answer to these q uestion s I either nodded or made strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the too th had been. I sud denly felt very worried, but could not say any thing. When the dentist at last removed the cotton-woo l from my mouth, I was able to tell him that e had pulled ou t the wrong tooth. Lesso n49 The end of a drea m 美梦告终 Tired of sleeping on the floor, a y oung man in Teheran saved up for y ears to buy a real bed. For the first time in h is life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had spring s and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of h is ho use. He slept very well for the first two n ights, bu t on the third n ight, a storm blew up. A g ust of w ind swep t the bed off the roof and sent it crashin g in to the courty ard below. The y oung man did not wa e up until the bed had struc the ground. Alth ough the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he wo e up, he was still on the mattress. Glancin g at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly pic ed up the mattress and carried it in to h is hou se. After he had put it on the flo or, he promptly went to sleep again. Lesso n50 Ta n for a ride 乘车兜风 I love travelling in the coun try , but I don't lik e losing my way. I went on an excursion recently , but my trip took me lo nger than I expected. ' I'm going to Woo dford Green,' I said to the con ductor as I go t on the bus,' bu t I don't know where it is.' ' I'll tell y ou where to get off,' answered the conductor. I sat in the front of the bus to get a good v iew of the coun try side. After some time, the bu s stopped. Loo king round , I realized w ith a shoc that I was the only passenger left on the bu s. ' You'll have to get off here,' the conductor said. 'This is as far as we go.' ' Is this Woodford Green ?' I ask ed. 'Oh dear,' said the conductor suddenly.' I forgot to pu t y ou off.' 'It doesn't matter,' I said. 'I'll get off here.' 'We are going back now,' said the cond uctor. 'Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus,' I answered. Lesso n51 Reward for virtue 对美德的奖赏 My friend, Herbert, has alway s been fat, but things go t so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet. He began his diet a wee ago. First of all, he wrote o ut a lon g list of all the foods which were forbidden. The list included most of the th ings Herbert lo ves: bu tter, pota toes, rice, beer, milk , choco late, and sweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the bell an d was not surprised to see that Herbert was still as fat as ever. He led me into his room and h urriedly hid a large parcel under his desk . It was obvio us that he was very embarrassed. When I ask ed him what he was doing, he smiled gu iltily and then put the pa rcel on the desk . He exp lained that his d iet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the conten ts of the parcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets! Lesso n52 A pretty carpet 漂亮的地毯 We have just moved into a new house and I have been wor ing hard all morning. I have been try ing to get my new room in order. This has n ot been easy because I own over a thousand boo To mak e matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my book s on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk o n them to get in or out of the room. A sh ort while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old boo cases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those boo ks on the floor. 'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, 'You don't need b oo cases at all. You can sit here in our spare time and read the carpet!' Lesson53 Hot sna ke 触电的蛇 At last firemen have put out a big forest f ire in California. Since then, they have been try ing to find out how the fire began. Forest fire are often caused by brok en glass or by cigarette ends which peop le carelessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully , but were not able to find any brok en g lass. They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a fireman accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a sna e which was wou nd round the electric wires of a 16,000-v olt power line. In this way , he was able to solve the my stery. The explanation was simple but very unusual. A bird had snatched u p the sna e from the ground an d then drop ped it on to the wires. The snak e then wound itself rou nd the w ires. When it did so, it sent spark s down to the grou nd and these immediately started a fire. Lesson54 Stic fingers 粘糊的手指 After break fast, I sent the children to school and then I went to mark et. It was still early when I returned home. The childr en were at school, my husband was at wor k and the house was qu iet. So I decided to mak e some tarts for tea. In a short time I was busy mixing bu tter and flour and my hands were soon covered with stick pastry. At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. Noth ing could have been more annoy ing. I pick ed up the receiver between two stick fingers and was dismay ed when I recognized the vo ice of Mrs Bates. I t too k me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I h ung up the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the door-nob s. I had no sooner got bac to the itchen than the d oor-bell rang lou d enough to wa e the dead. Th is time it was the postman and he wanted me to s ign for a registered letter !

Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully , but were not able to find any brok en g lass. They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a fireman accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a sna e which was wou nd round the electric wires of a 16,000-v olt power line.

第三章 项目建设的必要性和可行性

3.1项目建设的必要性

“日用消费品配送中心建设项目”建设的终端受益者是广大乡镇农村的消费者,目的就是为了便农、惠农。近些年乡镇农村的消费结构、消费方式都发生了很大变化,“超市进农村”和“物流配送”是现代流通网络建设的主要形式,而配送中心的建设是这一发展趋势的必然选择。

一是有利于新农村建设。按照中共中央《关于推进社会主义新农村建设的若干意见》及国务院《关于促进物流业发展的若干意见》精神,大力发展改造农村商品销售网点,目标是构建顺畅的农村现代商品流通网络,把现代商品流通理念引入农村,拉动内需,扼制金融危机。这一举措,已成为国家“十一五”发展的专项规划,是社会主义新农村建设的重要措施之一。

二是有利于杜绝假冒伪劣商品。为了确保商品质量,我们着重在商品配送的物质保障、制度管理等方面下功夫、求实效。近年来,为了使各连锁店既便利群众,又提高效益,我们对营销网点实行“四个统一”:统一标识,就是制定统一的连锁店标识牌;统一规范,规范货架摆设、商品陈列、服务制度等;统一配送,就是建立统一的配送中心,减少流

A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed of fort miles an hour--much faster than any of its rivals. It sped d ownhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lo t of troub le try ing to s top it. The race gave every one a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting. Lesson57 Ca n I help yo u, ma da m? 你要买什么,夫人? A woman in blue jeans stood at the win dow of an expensive shop. Th ough she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and ask ed to see a dress that was in the window. T he assistan t who served her did not lik e the way she was dressed. Glancing at her scornfully , he told her that the dress was so ld. The woman walk ed out of the sho p angrily and decided to pu nish the assistant next day. She returned to the sh op the followin g morning dressed in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other. After seek ing out the rude assistan t she ask ed for the same dress. Not realizing w ho she was, the assistant was eager to

serve her this time with great d ifficulty , he climbed into the shop w indow to get the dress. As so on as she saw it, the woman said s many ties.' 'And a woman can't have too man hats,' she answered. Ten minutes later we walk ed out of the sho p together. My wife was wearing a hat that loo ed lik e a ligh thou se ! Lesso n42 Not very musical 并非很懂音乐 As we had had a long walk through one of the mark ets of Old Delhi, we stopped at a sq uare to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snak e-charmer with two large bask ets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a loo at h im. As soon as he saw us, he pic ed up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened o ne of the bask ets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first g limpse of the sna e. It ro se out of the bask et and began to fo llow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the sna e charmer suddenly began to play jazz tu nes and modern pop son gs. The sna e, h owever, continued to 'dance' slowly. It obviously could n ot tell the

difference between Indian music and jazz! Lesso n43 Over the So uth Pole 飞越南极 In 1929, three y ears after his flight over the North Po le, the American explorer, R. E. By rd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time. Though, at first, By rd and his men were able to ta e a great many photographs of the moun tains tha t lay below, they soon ran in to seriou s troub le. At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. By rd at once ordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks. The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet. By rd now knew that he wou ld be able to reach the Sou th Pole which was 300 miles away , for there were no more mountains in sigh t. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless w hite p lains w ithou t difficulty. Lesso n44 Throug h t he forest 穿过森林 Mrs Anne Sterling did no t th in of the risk she was ta ing when she ran throu gh a forest after two men. They had rushed up to her while

she was having a p icnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tr ied to steal her handbag. In the strugg le, the strap bro e and, with the bag in their possession , both men started running throu gh the trees. Mrs Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was soon o ut of breath, but she contin ued to run. When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going thro ugh the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them. The men got such a frig ht that they dropped the bag and ran away. 'The strap needs mending,' said Mrs Sterling later, 'but they did n ot steal any thing.' Lesso n45 A clear co nscience 问心无愧 The whole village so on learnt that a large sum of money had been lost. Sam Benton, the local butcher, had lo st h is wallet while taking his savings to the post-office. Sam was sure that the wallet must have been foun d by one of the v illagers, bu t it was not returned to him. Three months passed, and then one morning, Sam found his wallet outside his front door. It had been wrapped up in

newspaper and it contained half the money he had lost, together with a note wh ich said: 'A thief, y es, 'but only 5o per cent a thief!' Two months later, some more money was sent to Sam with another note:' Only 25 per cent a thief now!' In time, all Sam's money was paid back in th is way. The last note said:' I am 100 per cent honest now!' lesso n46 Expe nsive and unco mfortable 既昂贵又受罪 Wh en a plane from London arrived at Sy dney airport, work ers began to un load a number of wooden boxes wh ich contained clo thing.

A man was ly ing in the box on top of a pile of woo llen goo ds. He was so surprised at bein g disco vered that he did n ot even try to run away. After he was arrested, the man ad mitted hiding in the box before the plane left London. He had had a long and uncomfortable trip, for he had been confined to the wooden box for over ten

Lesson47 A thirsty ghost 嗜酒的鬼魂 A public house which was recently bought by Mr Ian Thompson is up for sale. Mr T hompson is goin g to sell it because it is haunted. He to ld me that he could n ot go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been block ed by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he h ad found five empty whisk bottles which the ghost must have drun the nigh t before. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink , Mr Thompson shoo his head. The v illagers have to ld him that they will no t accept the inn even if he gives it away. Lesso n48 D id yo u want to tell me so met hing? 你想对我说什么吗? Dentists alway s ask q uestion s when it is impossib le for y ou to answer. My

He new I collected b irds' eggs and ask ed me whether my collection was growing. He then ask ed me how my brother was and whether I lik ed my new job in Lond on. In answer to these q uestion s I either nodded or made strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the too th had been.

系建设。“十一五”期间,在我国农村人口占总人口的比重将逐步下降的大背景下,农村市场活动的总规模还将继续扩大。据预测,“十一五”期末,我国居民食品支出需求总额将达到36200亿元,农产品需求总量将稳步增长;农民人均纯收入如果在2009年3255元的基础上继续按照5%的速度增长,将达到4154元,由此产生的农村市场消费需求约2.2万亿元,加上农民对生产资料的需求,农民的支出总量将超过3万亿元。完成如此巨大的商品交易量,实现城乡商品流通的供求平衡,是目前的农村流通网络无法承受的,是对农村市场体系建设提出的巨大挑战。
